... same thing with YouTube, Vimeo, PetaPixel, DP Review and on and on and on.
Here is the deal...
Don't be like some of the small-minded curators I deal with. They will refuse an acquisition because they say it is 'already on the internet.' You can see how far 'it is on the internet' goes. It is not a case of the old adage 'here today, gone tomorrow.' In this day and age it can be a case of 'here today...gone today.'
Whether it is my Archive or something else you see on the internet...if you find it useful...archive it! Put it on M-Disc or laser engraved quartz. Those are the only methods of archival preservation for digital material.
Clip from Special Features of Plaster Caster VHS videotape of artist Cynthia Albritton aka 'Cynthia Plaster Caster' who was famous for casting plaster penis replicas of famous rock stars.
Footage is notable as:
1) It came from a factory sealed VHS tape acquired from a VHS collector who purchased it from Tower Records in L.A. in 2004. It was kept sealed for 18 years and stored in climate-controlled conditions. Tape was finally opened on 8.8.2021.
2) When this film was distributed on VHS, DVD was going to replace VHS for commercial releases within a couple of years. Some VHS releases tried to compete with DVD and added special features after the main feature, but it was still a rare thing to find.
3) It documents Cynthia Plaster Caster on a 'Casting Call' making molds of musician Suzi Gardner's breasts from the band L7 in 2000. They were the first breasts Cynthia casted.

On another topic...
Do you have an interest in cine' film preservation?
The Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive has a collection of thousands of reels measuring in the millions of feet of film. It is mostly 16mm, with some 8mm. While I have silent scanning equipment, sound 16mm scanners are out of my reach due to cost.
If you have an interest in investing in vintage film preservation and would like to contribute part or all of a scanner to the Archive, please contact me. I'm not looking for nickel and dime contributions. I tried that with Kickstarter, but they refused to run it.
All this material I offer is open content...aka free. Consequently, when I speak of investing, your return on investment is LOVE. And the love of historical preservation, is the same payment I get for my work.
